Dear John,
Communication is the cornerstone of our connections with others, yet for those living with Parkinson's, it can present unique hurdles. As Parkinson's progresses, vocal tremors, softened voices, and facial masking can make expressing thoughts and emotions increasingly challenging. The impact goes beyond mere frustration, often leading to strained relationships, heightened isolation, and even depression.
That's why we're excited to invite you to a special online event designed to shed light on these communication challenges and provide valuable insights into managing them effectively. Join us on Wednesday, May 15, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM Eastern Time for an engaging discussion led by Speech-Language Pathologist and Get LOUD! Stay LOUD! founder, Sarah Awde and Irene Doyle, a retired ambulatory care dietitian at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Prince Edward Island.
During our session, speakers will delve into why and how Parkinson's affects the voice, as well as direct and indirect therapeutic approaches aimed at improving communication abilities. From speech therapy techniques to innovative apps and assistive devices, we'll explore a range of strategies to enhance vocal clarity and expression. To add, Irene Doyle, who will share her personal journey of navigating voice changes due to Parkinson's.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to gain valuable insights, connect with fellow attendees, and empower yourself or your loved ones on their journey with Parkinson's.
